Sentences with phrase «interannual sea level variability»

Not exact matches

«The impacts of sea level change will be felt most acutely during periods of high sea level, both from this type of interannual (and decadal) variability as well as extreme events,» Church said.

Quadrelli and Wallace (2004) found that many patterns of NH interannual variability can be reconstructed as linear combinations of the first two Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs) of sea level pressure (approximately the NAM and the PNA).

Regionally, climate models underestimate the amount of sea level rise that occured, but do show reasonable agreement for interannual and multidecadal variability.

''... when correcting for interannual variability, the past decade's slowdown of the global mean sea level disappears, leading to a similar rate of sea - level rise (of 3.3 ± 0.4 mm yr − 1) during the first and second decade of the altimetry era.

Here we present an analysis based on sea - level data from the altimetry record of the past ~ 20 years that separates interannual natural variability in sea level from the longer - term change probably related to anthropogenic global warming.

The most prominent signature in the global mean sea level interannual variability is caused by El Niño — Southern Oscillation, through its impact on the global water cycle.

«Here we present an analysis based on sea - level data from the altimetry record of the past ~ 20 years that separates interannual natural variability in sea level from the longer - term change probably related to anthropogenic global warming... Our results confirm the need for quantifying and further removing from the climate records the short - term natural climate variability if one wants to extract the global warming signal.»

Processes contributing to interannual steric sea level variability are studied over the period 1993 — 2004 using an observationally - constrained ocean state estimate produced by the ECCO («Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean») consortium.

Piecuch, C. G., and R. M. Ponte (2011), Mechanisms of interannual steric sea level variability, Geophys.

Global sea level trend during 1993 — 2012 Here we investigate the global - mean sea level (GMSL) change during 1993 — 2012 using Empirical Mode Decomposition, in an attempt to distinguish the trend over this period from the interannual variability.

A 15 - year CDR of global sea level rise and interannual variability has been established by TOPEX / Poseidon (1992 - 2002) and Jason (2002 - present).23 The duration of this data record is just beginning to provide insight into decadal variability.

However, detecting acceleration is difficult because of (i) interannual variability in GMSL largely driven by changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS)(7 ⇓ — 9), (ii) decadal variability in TWS (10), thermosteric sea level, and ice sheet mass loss (11) that might masquerade as a long - term acceleration over a 25 - y record, (iii) episodic variability driven by large volcanic eruptions (12), and (iv) errors in the altimeter data, in particular, potential drifts in the instruments over time (13).
